Offset Door Hinge

Swing Clear Offset Door Hinges:

Narrow doorways can be a real handicap for someone using a wheelchair or
walker. Residential building codes, architects and home builders haven't considered
the needs of people using a wheelchair or walker. Doors can be widened but
it can be an inconvenience and costly. An alternative solution might be replacing
your existing 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" hinges with the expandable
offset door hinge. These special hinges are designed to swing the door
clear of the opening adding about 2" additional clearance for wheelchairs
and walkers.

These swing clear offset door hinges will replace
your existing 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" standard interior door hinge, quick and easy
to install and uses the existing holes and screws. The hinge measures 2"
x 3-1/2" (2" wide to wrap the trim, see top view) with a decorative, long lasting bright brass, or black finish (the black hinges are very similar to oil rubbed bronze in color but do not have the gold accent) .

The ADA requires a minimum clear opening of 32".
These hinges can make a standard 32" door ADA compliant
in about 30 minutes!

Installation instructions:

Note: The offset hinge can be used in both left and right
hand doors simply by removing and reversing the hinge pins. The corners radius
of the offset hinges may be sharper than your existing hinge and could require
just a little trimming of the mortise with a utility knife and chisel.

Remove existing hinges from the door jam and door. Save all screws.

Attach the offset hinge to the door, counter sunk holes facing you. Use
the same screws just removed in step 1 and screw into existing holes. Repeat
this step to attach the second or third offset hinge.

Attach the other side of the offset hinge to the door jam (counter sunk
holes facing you). Use the same screws just removed in step 1 and screw
into existing holes. Repeat this step to attach the second or third offset
hinge.

Tips: It can be easier to install the offset hinges by pulling
the hinge pins and then installing the separated hinge halves to the door
and jam. Set the door in the opening and reinsert the hinge pins.

You can gain an additional 1" of clearance by removing the lower portion
of the door stops from the jam.
